I read the book "Get strong at the opening", but I was far from understanding all answers (and anyway, I guess that some answers would nowadays be considered as wrong by strong bots). On the other hand, in my games against kyu players of various levels, the outcome of the game is almost never determined by the opening or by fancy strategies, but by fighting/life and death skill, both opponents typically make several big mistakes during a game.

Fixed that for you. ;)

I started to play a little chess these days. I don't know why, but it started pleasing me (before, I didn't like the game much). I'm still very bad, but I'm starting to lose my awfull tunnel vision :study:

And on a side note, I got to uni with Vachier-Lagrave, who just become #1 rated player at Blitz, winning agaisnt Magnus in the [url="https://lichess.org/blog/XPWOmxAAACIAhBHc/vachier-lagrave-blitzes-his-way-to-the-top"]Norway Chess's preliminary blitz tournament[/url]. I'm glad to see him doing so well :salute:.
